(1686-1749), second Lord of Livingston Manor. He was the son of
Robert Livingston the Elder and became the Secretary of Indian
Affairs in New York. His sons include Philip Livingston, the signer
of the Declaration, and William Livingston, first governor of New
Jersey and signer of the Constitution. Still another Philip
Livingston, this one Philip Peter Livingston, also known as
"Gentleman Phil", a nephew of the Signer, signs the fourth

is now Columbia and Dutchess counties in New York. Generally very
good condition; typewritten transcripts included as well as
biographical information. From the Henry E. Luhrs
Collection.
